20 Years of the Children Act

It's been 20 years since the passing of the Children Act 1989, a landmark piece of legislation which still governs much of how cases involving children are handled. To mark the occasion, Community Care magazine has published a series of articles which represent a range of views on the Act, from legal experts, social care practitioners and more. Follow this link to read about the results of a poll which discusses the commitment of modern Councils to the Act; at the bottom of this piece you will see links to all the other articles in the series.
